At the end of each world, Rayman must defeat a boss enemy. Rayman's "telescopic fist", an ability gained early in the game, allows him to punch enemies from a distance most enemies can be defeated with a certain number of punches. Tings can also be used to pay the Magician, a character found in certain levels, to enter a bonus stage, where Rayman can win an extra life.

If the player loses a life, any Tings collected are lost. The player gains an extra life for every 100 Tings picked up (50 in the DSi version). Scattered around each level are small, sparkling blue spheres called Tings. If all lives are lost at any point, the "Game Over" screen will appear, and the player can continue or quit. The player is given a certain number of lives, which are lost when Rayman takes too many hits or falls into water or a pit. Each level is divided into several maps, each of which is completed when Rayman reaches the "!" sign at the end. Only when all the Electoons are freed will Rayman be able to reach and confront Mr Dark at his lair in Candy Château.

The player character is the titular Rayman, who must travel through six worlds (The Dream Forest, Band Land, Blue Mountains, Picture City, The Caves of Skops and Candy Château) to free all of the caged Electoons, six cages of whom are located somewhere on each level. Rayman is a side-scrolling platform game. Band Land is the second of six worlds in the game.

The Protoon has not been spoken of in the games since, so whether or not these settings are of the same world or different ones remains a mystery.An example of gameplay in Rayman. Most of the games after that take place in a seemingly different, more realistic world of a god named Polokus, while the Raving Rabbids take place in more contemporary settings and eventually Earth itself. The original, 2-D Rayman games take place in what is called Rayman's home world - a world that is kept stable by the Great Protoon. The games take place in seemingly unconnected areas. Despite this, Rayman has not allowed it to dampen his views on life and continues to be witty and rather energetic. It is speculated (in the game) that Rayman could in fact be a 'chosen one' selected by all the gods of all the worlds, destined to fight against evil. In Rayman 2 this idea is further elaborated on when Rayman is revealed to be the only creature living in the world who was not dreamed up by Polokus, as well as the only person who can convert the Silver Lums made by the Fairies into powers. Supposedly he was found by fishermen on a beach by the Sea of Lums. Also, there were combat fatigues in the game with could give Rayman Heavy Metal Fists that could increase his attack power, a propeller that could make him fly into the air, a missile attack that could make turn Rayman's fist into a powerful missile, a chain that could latch onto anything it could latch on to, and many more. Late in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, the Leptys granted Rayman the ability to turn Black Lums into Red Lums with a grimace. In Rayman 2: The Great Escape, he was granted the ability to attack his enemies with energy balls, rather than throwing his fists. Rayman's abilities consist of attacking his enemies by winding up his fists and throwing them at his enemies, floating through the air and descending slowly by using his hair as a helicopter propeller, and the ability to live and survive without his body parts attached. In Japanese versions, Rayman's suit is changed from purple to blue, since purple is seen as the color of death in Japan. His hands and feet usually act like normal appendages (running, using objects, etc.), but some of his abilities involve separating them from his body.He has however been known to change outfits, beginning from his third adventure against the Black Lum André in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. One part of his character design is he has no neck, arms or legs, but rather his head, torso, hands and feet appear to float in midair relative each other as though they were attached. Rayman is typically found wearing white gloves, a red scarf on a purple shirt (which was replaced with a red and purple hoodie) with a white Ring on it, and yellow sneakers.The Ring appears to have magical properties.
